Hello @kbasaran, a header only Proton log hints that something went wrong early in Proton's startup, before the actual game is started. Can you completely close Steam, then run steam from a terminal and check the terminal spew for any hints around the time you tell the game to start?

Also, what filesystem are you using with /media/kerem/HDD500/Steam?

Hello kisak and thank you for the response.

There is this error:

The HDD500 media is formatted with NTFS. It is an external drive connected to an hot-swappable SATA port.

[kisak-valve]

Proton interacting with NTFS is known to be finicky, and the general recommendation is to use a linux native filesystem instead.

This particular failure case OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '../drive_c' -> '/media/kerem/HDD500/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/379720/pfx//dosdevices/c:' is already being tracked at #5168.

If you really need to use NTFS with that Steam library and Proton, then give https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows a read.

Closing in favor of #5168.
